RUC Payer: Mileage Calculation

(1) The Account Managers shall collect road usage data by options approved and certified by the Department. The Department may authorize the following options for collecting road usage data:
(a) Mileage reporting that uses vehicle location capability; or
(b) Mileage reporting that does not use vehicle location capability; or
(c) Mileage reporting that alternates between location and non-location based functionality at the RUC Payer’s direction or discretion.
(d) Other technologies that collect and report road usage data.
(2) For any subject vehicle that incurs more than 10 null mileage days in a calendar year, the RUC Payer may be assessed a Road Usage Charge for any null mileage days. The null mileage day calculation process is determined by the agreement between the RUC Payer and the Account Manager.
(3) For any Road Usage Charge assessed for null mileage days, the RUC Payer may request abatement of part or all of the assessment and submit information supporting the request to the Account Manager.
(4) Gaps in RUC Payer data reporting will be reviewed by the Department. How to resolve and account for gaps in RUC Payer data reporting will be determined in contractual documents between the Department and the Account Managers.
(5) Tax liability begins on the day the Mileage Reporting Option is activated in the vehicle for the purposes of collecting the Road Usage Charge. Tax liability ends on the day the RUC Payer informs the RUC Payer’s Account Manager, in the manner prescribed by the Account Manager, that the RUC Payer wants to leave the program.
(6) RUC Payer information supplied to the Department by the Account Manager may be reviewed by the Department. If the Department finds that Road Usage Charge or fuels tax credits were incorrectly or insufficiently calculated, the Department may adjust the account, which will result in an invoice or a credit. RUC Payers are expected to pay invoices resulting from a Departmental review within 30 days, or the Department may assess interest at the rate of 1 percent per month as well as a 10 percent late penalty fee for delinquent payments.
